Inari Sushi

Inari Sushi (稲荷寿司,Inari-zushi?) is a type of sushi consisting of a pouch of fried tofu typically filled with sushi rice.

It is named after the Shinto god Inari, who is believed to have a fondness for fried tofu. The pouch is normally deep-fried tofu, however, regional variations include pouches made out of a thin omelette. Other versions of Inari Sushi include green beans, carrots, and gobo (the taproot of a Japanese Burdock) included in the rice stuffing.
